CANANDAIGUA — After 10 years of a summer farmers market in Canandaigua, organizers are looking to expand.

“A year-round need for a local farmers market exists,” organizer Sandi Munson told Canandaigua City Council last week.

Specifically, the proposal is to continue the existence of a winter market located in the Antis Street parking lot, Saturdays from 10 to 11 a.m. from Nov. 9, 2013 to May 24, 2014.

For the past two years, a winter market has been set up in the Antis Street lot, Munson noted. Her appearance before City Council was to seek permission to continue the winter market and request permission to block off one lane of the parking lot to stop cars from driving through the market setup.

“There are 27 spots,” Munson said. “We need six spots during the winter.”

Munson estimated that there will be three to six vendors and 75 to 125 customers per Saturday.

“This is a great proposal; I have no issues with it,” said Maria Bucci during Tuesday’s Environmental Committee meeting. She encouraged market organizers to go door-to-door and let nearby neighbors know about the winter market.

The traditional farmers market runs from June to October and is set up in the Mill Street parking lot.
